Make Mine Black, Please!

I love my coffee black – no cream, no sugar – I do enjoy different roasts and coffees that are flavored to brewing! With that said, it was a no brainer for me when I saw Annabelle Stamp’s challenge this week to use Black.

I had a tough time photographing this card due to the glossiness of the diecut and the embossed panel. I embossed the panel using a Cuttlebug embossing folder and then rubbed a VersaMark pad over the panel and sprinkled black embossing powder over the entire panel and then heat set it to make the glossy panel. I did the same technique with the diecut that was stamped with a PTI stamp and again sprinkled with black embossing powder and heat set.

Fantastic card. I think black is so hard to pull off, but you did a great job with the challenge. Thanks for playing with us at Perfect Sentiments. Wanted to say your blog is also so bright and cheerful.

A little bit about me…

I LOVE making cards. For me, making greeting cards is a cheap (relatively) form of therapy.
My hubby is one of the most wonderful, caring men in this world. We have two children that are married and they have each blessed us with two grandsons.
Sunday is usually the day we get together as a family and sit down for a meal. The noise levels at time reads pretty high on the decibel meter but I wouldn't change it for anything in this world.
I am a huge sports fan; especially the Minnesota Twins and the Minnesota Vikings. I haven't had much to cheer about lately but one of these years but that's okay as I enjoy just watching the games.
I watch entirely too much television - I enjoy Project Runway, Top Chef, American Idol, NCIS, Castle, Suits, the list goes on - all I can say is thank goodness for DVR!
Thank you for stopping by - I love visitors and I hope you drop by often.
